Exploring Edinburgh and the Scottish Culture!

On my trip to Edinburgh last year, I saw and captured so many things -- there's just a lot to explore there!

When I went to Edinburgh last year and stayed there for a week, I was really keen on it: a great city full of sighs and lomo-motives you shouldn’t miss. In fact, the first thing that will attract your attention is the beautiful architecture — on the one side, there are the medieval buildings in “Old Town”, and on the other side, the contemporary structures of " New Town".

The “Royal Mile” with the impressive Edinburgh Castle is located in the middle of the city and connects the two parts of Edinburgh.

Worth seeing is also Princess Street, the most popular shopping street in Edinburgh. She lies beneath the castle and is linked with “Old Town” through the Playfair Steps, which you just should climb up one time.

Another great designation is Arthur’s Seat, the local mountain of Edinburgh, which will give a fantastic view on the town. You should also visit the monument of Bobby, a dog who has a very special story: he stayed supposedly for years at the grave of his former owner and became famous through his unswerving loyalty to his owner.

When you stroll through Edinburgh, you should pay attention to little details: for example, this little alley which is a nice place to shoot and shows the entirety of Edinburgh. Also a nice spot is this winding street oozing with its own charm.

And sometimes you will see Scots and the typical kilt or a red phone box, and even three behind one another like on the second picture!

I just recommend visiting Edinburgh and exploring it with your Lomo cameras, because there’s so much to see!

Here's the third and final part of my Lomography Day Trip features about Ubud. To be honest, there are a lot of places there that are worth visiting, but I just picked some of them to help you make the best of your trip. So prepare your notes or travel books and take note of the must-see places that I'll mention below. Maybe one day you'll visit Ubud.

For the last year we've been working on the next version of Lomography. We based our work on the feedback you’ve given us over the years and we wanted to share it as early as possible with you and can’t wait to hear what you think. Just one warning first: it is still in development and things can break. All the photos, comments, likes, homes and everything else were transferred as of October 16th, 2014. So anything you do on next.lomography.com won't be reflected on www.lomography.com and vice versa. Once we are done with testing, everything you did here will be deleted again. So this is a big playground for you to explore.

Every year I get the winter blues. I start imagining the feel of the sunrays, ice cold beer after a long summer day, and the endless hours spent on the beach. I have captured moments, memories, and dreams this year, which is my favorite thing to do. This is a short version and visual diary of my year 2014.

In December last year James Wright, editor and creative director of So It Goes Magazine, went on a two-week trip to Sri Lanka, "a place so long on our bucket list, but up until then, as yet unvisited," he writes on the first of his three-part photo diary. Herein is the first of his series that chronicles his adventures, highlighted by a selection of breathtaking images of the Sri Lankan countryside and the locals, among many other images, captured with his trusty photographic companions: the Leica MP, Lomo LC-A+, and an assortment of films including the LomoChrome Purple.

Summer is always thrilling and worth looking forward to. There are so many exciting things to do: trips to the seaside, chilling out with friends with beer and music, and going on surfing holidays, to name a few. To make summer even more fun is the ongoing Summer Bazaar in the Lomography Online Shop!

Last week, I received the strangest thing through my letterbox. It was a postcard with this photograph on 1 side. The photo is of me sitting by the sea whilst I was on vacation last year. But I have literally no idea who took this shot – That’s why I came here, to ask for your help on my search for my mysterious photographer and to try and get to bottom of the riddle they wrote me. Please help me if you can!

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany. With its 3.5 million residents, it is also the second largest city in the European Union. Berlin has a lot to offer when it comes to culture as there are so many people from many different countries living and working together. Of course, Berlin is also home of Lomography Germany!

Movies based on literature isn’t a new concept, sure, and the last decade or so alone saw an influx of book adaptations. But have you ever pondered on just how many of these were inspired by poems? Have a look at our list for this week, and find out if you’ve already seen any of them!

My brother had a photo exhibition last year at the North Sea Jazz Festival and got two tickets. So just like the old days with our father, we went to the Ahoy Rotterdam for an evening of jazz and other music. I was armed with an analogue SLR camera, telephoto lens, and sensitive film!

When I was a child, I regularly went to Blaavand, located at the Danish west coast, with my brothers and parents. I stopped going there as I grew up. In 2012 however, we hit the road again. It was my first return visit in about 20 years. I took the chance and packed as many cameras as possible into my luggage. In part two of my journey log, I'm going to show you the pictures I took with my Lomography cameras.
